The binary installation method allows you to do an installation = by using a =E2=80=9Czip=E2=80=9D file rather than using the executable inst= allation files (.exe). This is sometimes a simpler way of performing an installatio= n.
Installing Enterprise Tester from the binary zip release involves:
You can download the Manual installation files from the http://catchsoftware.com/support#DownloadCentre
When you unpack the zip file you will find a structure similar to this:<= /p>
Additionally there are 3 text files available:
Note
Each time an upgrade is performed users must check the Upgrade t= ext file and follow specific instructions relating to the release.
Prior to installing please ensure you have the following installed:
If you do not have a database, we recommend installing Sql Server Expres= s 2012 r2 (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/<= /a>)
Prior to installing Enterprise Tester you must unpack the zip file into = a suitable directory.
Unpack the binary release file to a suitable directory - if you are unsu= re, popular locations include:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise Tester\
c:\EnterpriseTester\App\
c:\Program Files (x86)\Catch Limited\Enterprise Tester\
When the files have been unpacked you will find that you have a structur= e like this:
Data Folder =E2=80=93 MySql Express database is found here
Web Folder =E2=80=93 Application files are in this folder
changes.txt - readme file summarizing changes in each version of Enterprise=
Tester
install.txt =E2=80=93 the document you are reading now
Follow the directions in the Con= figure web.config topic to setup your database connection informat= ion
Before configuring an application pool for Enterprise Tester to use, you= should give some thought to the application pools identity.
By default in IIS7/7.5 application pools are configured with the identit= y "ApplicationPoolIdentity" by default, but can also default to "Loca= l System", "Local Service" or "Network Service". This is not recommen= ded for a production system.
For production instances of ET, we strongly recommend the use of a domai= n service account as the identity of the ET application pool, combined with= the use of integrated authentication for connecting to the database ET wil= l use for storing its data.
There are a number of reasons for configuring the identity this way, inc= luding:
1. The ability to specifically grant ET access to network resources (fil=
e system etc.);
2. Domain service accounts can have their password cycle, offering more sec=
urity;
3. Integrated security to the database will ensure that you don't need to p=
ut your password as clear text for the database in a connection string, and=
makes it easier to manage password policy etc. between SQL server and the =
ET server; and
4. Integrated access to resources such as Active Directory/LDAP servers.
IIS7/7.5:
(Optional) - If you are using a 64bit operating system, and plan on usin= g Enterprise Architect integration with .EAP files, you will need to change= the option "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to true. Note: This will not= be possible if you are using the Oracle 64bit ODP.Net drivers.
At this point you may find it useful to configure the timeout/recycling settings for the applicat= ion pool, a common complaint from customers is that the timeouts are to= o short by default in IIS, so changing these to longer values is advisable.=
Next you will need to create a new application in IIS for Enterprise Tes= ter.
IIS7:
You are now ready to launch Enterprise Tester for the first time= .
From a browser on the same server as Enterprise Tester, access the websi= te - by default this will probably be: http://localhost/E= nterpriseTester/
Or use whichever URL is appropriate for the Default Web site settings th= at are in place.
You will experience a delay (normally between 1 and 2 minutes) while Ent= erprise Tester creates the necessary tables and populates them in the targe= t database, after which you will see a "Step 1 of 3" wizard page displayed,= prompting you to create a new organization.
